The Unbusy Mom - take your time back strategies for business moms

How does getting 20 hours back a week sound?

Mom life is easy for me. And by the way, I’m working from home (plus homeschooling!) with 5 kids.

Ready for your own “how to make things fit” strategy?

The way I do scheduling allows you to grow through the hard phases of building a business alongside a family, leveling up your CEO self alongside your capacity to hold.

What you end up with is a way closer relationship with your husband - your kids - even your clients! - because you’ve built the daily lifestyle that allows you to nurture that connection with the most important people in your life….

….No matter what’s going on with your to-do list.

So if….

✅ You feel like you’re up to your eyeballs in to-do lists

✅ You’ve got more things scheduled on your calendar than you’ve ever seen

✅ Your kids need more time than you’ve currently got (for homework & playing with them after school)

✅ Your plans for date night are getting pushed last minute (or snoozed till next week – again)

✅ You can’t even fathom taking a two-hour break in the middle of the day (because if you stop, the house might literally burn down)

✅ You can’t remember the last time you got a pedicure (because you’re too busy taking care of everyone except yourself)

Then it’s time to escape the never-ending cycle of “there goes my lunch break” meetings, “turn around by Friday” projects, & “hang on I’m almost done” answers to your kids….

…And swap that for working less, snuggling your kids, and putting "me time" back on your calendar.

‘Cause it's time for you to actually feel that day-in, day-out confidence in your role as mom, entrepreneur, and all-around high achiever.

Which is where I come in to help you create win-win solutions for yourself + your family that support business growth, team scaling, & client operations without compromising any key part of your life (or requiring long-held goals to be left for another year).
